Top Ten Tuesday: fine whine edition

Top ten reasons why I'm feeling sorry for myself today:

1. I have to have another surgical procedure on my eye on Thursday.
2. I'll have to do this all again next year with the right eye.
3. It's getting hard to drive at night, which makes me feel really old.
4. I haven't lost the 5 pounds I gained after the first surgery.
5. I have to pay this stupid speeding ticket that will up my insurance.
6. The leaves in my yard are all slimy and I have to rake them tonight.
7. I haven't planted my spring bulbs yet and don't know when I will.
8. I'm finding hard to get any exercise in and am feeling it.
9. I miss my ex-boyfriend.
10. The evil hawkweed is spreading and I have to destroy a lot of plants to eradicate it.

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
Without ever having felt sorry for itself.
